Anything is possible with Linux if you pfaff around long enough. But I think you'll need a controller with USB receiver, you can't do it directly with Bluetooth.

Consoles have a whole other processor that looks for inputs like that while the main processor remains off. Those don't make much sense for PCs.

Do it.

It only matters in the sense that you're allowed to not purchase online games.

Virtually every game in existence has some sort of online element. But what you seem to be unable to grasp is that many of them have single player modes that don't require any internet connection.

It's as simple has having a server that checks the version of the game installed before allowing access to online services.

It doesn't matter if you prefer offline or not or that you CAN play solo, it is online coop.

Of course it does?

Hence it begs the question whether it's the platform's fault per se.

There is no question. GOG is proof that you can do it. Therefore if others don't do it, it's their fault.

Once again, all of this is beside the point. The point is that those games are effectively gone.

It's literally built on bittorrent protocols

literally webtorrents*

it's already very well established that you can be held responsible for seeding copyright infringing material

Right, because you're hosting it and distributing it. PeerTube is just like a window to non-local content (except for the local content, obvi).

It confirms virtually all previous testing.

No one said anything about stock.

They have so much money because they're full of shit? Doesn't make much sense.

Android 16 is coming out with desktop mode soon. At that point I'll have to pony up for a new one because my current device doesn't support display port alt mode. And my laptop is on its last legs.

Then why does Nvidia have so much more money?

Saw a guy get a Switch 2 bricked and at the end of the video he was talking about getting another one 🤦

But they're using USB

It's complicated, and increasingly so as Nintendo succeeds in intimidating more and more projects into shutting down.

who knows what is true and what not.

Lots of people do.

Definitely wrong is GraphenOS's claim that Android does not allow access to the device id.

That's not what it says.

No idea if you need it for a FB message/notification though.

There has to be a way for Google/Apple to know which device to send the notif to.

I've seen some federated ones.

You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open.

I'm sure that's a legal grey area that hasn't been explored largely but I would think you would have to actually host the content or have it on your device locally.

Windows has been getting continuously worse so it's not surprising that those with the income available are continuously willing to spend more to get out of it.

Something something Android is Linux 😅

Kinda hard to use your desktop in bed or hiding in the bathroom.
